Forget Rachel Lindsay. Miley Cyrus is closely following Chicago education software manager Anthony Battle's turn on "The Bachelorette," according to her sister.

"Anthony is, like, far and above her favorite, which is why I made her watch last week's episode because I was like, you got to see the others. You got to see the dog date with (former Chicago personal trainer) Peter (Kraus) and you got to have some perspective," Cyrus' sister, Brandi, told People magazine Tuesday. "But my sister is a big, huge fan of Anthony."

"Anthony is very endearing and very cute. It's exciting because as we're doing these amazing things, it really feels like we're building a connection and growing a relationship," said Lindsay, a Texas attorney.

Battle is one of three Chicagoans and 18 suitors left in the ABC network competition, which airs 7 p.m. Mondays.
